The wait i added in the start is because it has a .4 second channel time

well, you need to clear the damaged group not destroy it as destroying it completely gets rid of the unit group making so that you can't add units too.
by the way you are leaking a unit group in the bow damager trigger, put this

• Custom Script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true

in front of the pick every unit in

Remove the waits...

User some sort of timer or the periodic event.
And use it to count down an integer or real...

And when that integer down to 0 do the things

Never use waits if you intend to make this ability to be casted by more than 1 unit at a time.

There are lots of projectile systems here... just use them... or learn from them...

Okay so do you know whats wrong with it then?? What you said doesnt compute to much for me.. First... I know nothing about custom script. so the set (bj_wantDestroyGroup = true) i just put into the custom script instead of destroying the damged group.. But still its bugged IDK what this even does!! You guys are just on some kinda super level ill never be at.. can't understand that i really suck and i need explanationl.

Now the second time i cast it. it removes units from the game it looks like.. Wait. sometimes it does only 50 damage sometimes it removes units. maybe that will help find the root of the problem

 

[Space_Ship]

Fixed not fully sure what happened. i think adding in clear unit groups once the integer reached (x) to remove the Arrow dummy unit i cleared the groups.

Don't multi-post please... remove the waits, they are bad...
